LILT OF THE Y/ILLET 



The pure white ex<juisite flowers and 

 l)ale green foliage of this beautiful plant 

 n-iuler it one of the most useful and ad- 

 mired. It succeeds in the open ground in 

 ahaost any situation, l)Ut prefers shade 

 with plenty of moisture; when once planted 

 and established the (rrowns keep on in- 

 creasing each year. The large ones flower 

 each seast>n without any attention. How 

 ever, a top dressing of manure or rich soil 

 in the Autumn will be found a great- ad- 

 vantage. Grown in pots and forced into 

 flower, they make a beautiful ol»ject for 

 room decoration: for house culture place 

 rather thickly in pots or boxes, with a 

 little light soil or fibrous matter scattered 

 among the roots, but not over the tops: 

 then cover with moss or some such sub- 

 stance, and place outside until after a 

 sharp frost: then bring to window, and give 

 plenty of heat and some moisture, and 

 the flowers and foliage will soon appear. 

 The crowns of Lily of the Valley we offer 

 are imported by us direct from Berlin. Ger- 

 many, and we have no hesitation in saying 

 they are far superior for home planting to 

 those received from Hamburg, which stock 

 is usually sent out by the dealers.

 a fine stock of bulbs, which we offer at a reasonable 

 price. This grand novelty is as easily grown as any 

 Tulip, being subject to exactly the same conditions; it 

 can. therefore be grown with equal success in pots or the 

 open ground. As will be seen by our illustration, the 

 broad, handsome foliage is distinctly spotted with dark 

 maroon. The gorgeous flowers are bravely borne up, as 

 if to better display their remarkable color, which is
